Chatty McChatterson she is

It's true. The Animalia has continued to become a chatterbox of incredible proportions. She's huge, chatting-wise, not really enormous physically (though she is tall, just not wide). In the last week or so we've heard a million new words. Or so.

Panta (pansa), moush (mouth), nose, babao papa (dog food), petatos (zapatos), toalla/tahwoh (towel), Elma (the name she's given to one of her dolls that is dressed in red like Elmo), aaaaahhhp (up), daahhhun (down). There are more but I can't seem to remember them right now, probably since I should be working instead of blogging. She is also adorably doing more and more of the motions to both Wheels on the Bus and Itsy Bitsy Spider, English and Spanish versions.

Some of these exaggerated spellings are feeble attempts to illustrate how exaggerated she actually says certain words, mostly English ones. I don't know why this is, or why she upspeaks a lot of the time. It's either because we speak more exaggeratedly in English. Or that she's Brit-tish. Not sure.
